Boris Nadezhdin seeks to run in the March 17 presidential election in Russia. The question now is whether authorities will allow him on the ballot.
The stocky, bespectacled 60-year-old local legislator and academic has struck a chord with the public, openly calling for a halt to the conflict in Ukraine, the end of mobilizing Russian men for the military, and starting a dialogue with the West. He also has criticized the country’s repression of LGBTQ+ activism.
Yeah there we go. I’ve never heard of this guy before, but the description doesn’t paint him to be just another a lesser evil at least. I hope this guy gains momentum.
He’ll be dealt with before he becomes an actual threat
Hopefully that momentum is not gathered at a rate of 9.8 (m/s)/s.
Most likely he’ll gain momentum from the 5th floor to the ground, unfortunately
